America’s Cultural Revolution From Self-Awareness to Self-Righteousness
How did America transform from a nation of self-aware optimists to one of angry cynics in less than two decades?
In this recent WhoWhatWhy podcast I talk with political scientist Yascha Mounk, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins’s School of Advanced International Studies. He witnessed this cultural metamorphosis first hand after arriving in the US in 2005; his insights on this podcast paint a startling picture of how our society has fundamentally changed, and not for the better.
